WHO: Fugo(?)
WHERE: ?????
WHEN: May 3rd
WHAT: A very special message! :)
WARNINGS: y'all are probably gonna get at least a lil swear-y :)

[♪ epitaffio]

[The video starts off with static. Once it clears, Fugo can be seen in the video, sitting in front of bookcase that looks like one of the ones at the library, but something feels... off about him. He's wearing one of Ash's jackets, and he's... well, he's not even looking at the camera. He has what appears to be a script in hand and that's what he's looking at, though he looks... disinterested.

(In the fact that he's being recorded or in the script? Yes.)]

"With graduation coming up, I guess I'm really going to have to think hard about what I want to do." [God, it's like he's not even trying to sound like he isn't reading off the script.] "I've got so many options ahead of me now that it's a little overwhelming. But I'll figure it out, I'm sure." ... What a waste. What a stupid way to end it.

[With those last words, muttered in Italian, he tosses the script over his shoulder, rolling his eyes.]

Anyway. Hi there. Pardon me for stating the obvious, but if you want to chat with Patrizio, he's unavailable for the foreseeable future. I can take your message for the time being, but I can't promise it'll get to him in a timely manner. Or at all. [In Italian:] Not really my problem either way.

[He leans back, tipping the chair back onto two of its legs with a sigh.]

Of course, I suppose if the message is that urgent, or if you perhaps wish to talk alterations to that script, you can come find me.

[A beat.]

That being said, I'd advise you get here before the library closes... for good.

[He stops tipping the chair back, eyeing the camera with scorn as he reaches for it.]

Ciao.

[And with that, the recording cuts.]

WHO: Zhongli and you
WHERE: The network
WHEN: A few days after the Azhdaha plot wraps up
WHAT: The thrilling tales of dragon sealers.
WARNINGS: None, will update if necessary.

[video;]

[Normally, Zhongli addresses the network via text because that's the preferred way. But for this... as a courtesy, as a sign of respect and gratitude, he should give the announcement the weight it deserves.

The camera feed opens to a once-lush garden where the gold leaves of the ginkgo trees are still clinging to life despite the impending winter. The hardier bushes have not changed color and have retained their leaves. There's a good mixture of plants around (if not an abundance of flowers), and the stone picnic table and 'chairs' along with the tea set give a sense of serenity.

Zhongli's expression is difficult to read, stony and almost impassive. He's wearing his usual distinctive brown coat, recently mended, and cradling a teacup in his gloved hands.]

Greetings. I know it has been some time since I spoke to the network at large. For those who have not met me, my name is Zhongli.

I wanted to thank everyone who answered Shroud's call to help subdue the dragon a few days ago. His name is Azhdaha, and he has been a close companion of mine in every life I can recall. Yet the memory of rocks is only for a short time. As an elemental spirit, Azhdaha could do little to escape that fate. Eventually he forgot himself, and only remembered the pain and rage of lifetimes ago, when humans disturbed his slumber and caused him great pain.

For those of us who are exceptionally long-lived, time whittles away our bodies and minds like the waves and wind swallow the cliffs overlooking the sea. This phenomenon is known as erosion. It affects all of us differently, but it leaves us forever changed and missing something of ourselves, until naught remains.

All things have a beginning and an end, no matter how long the life lived. This is the truth of the world.

Now Azhdaha has been sealed away inside a golden dream, where he no longer suffers the pain that drove him to madness. His suffering is ended after hundreds of years. I... cannot overstate my gratitude.

[He sets his tea down. When he looks up again his draconic eyes are sharper, an intense amber framed by the gold leaves behind him.]

I am no longer with the cruel organization that chained me. I will aid those who wish to be free of their bad faith contracts, just as I will protect this city where my heart has come to rest. This is one way I may begin to repay such a debt. You have my word—not only as Rex Lapis, but as myself.

I hope you will keep it in mind.

[He reaches forward and shuts the feed off.]

ah, si je pouvais vivre dans l'eau

WHO: Furina & You!
WHERE: Labyrinth / Libra App.
WHEN: Eve of November 20th.
WHAT: The Spirit Realm spits out another person for wet France.
WARNINGS: None at the moment, will update if needed.

LABYRINTH.

[ it had been raining when furina finally placed her head on her pillow. not heavy, mind you, but just enough to make it difficult for her to fall asleep. to allow herself to relax into her bed, to put thoughts of waters rising from her head. truly she had no idea how long she had laid there, anxiety crawling through her limbs, but eventually - eventually - she drifted off to sleep.

a mistake, the most dreadful of mistakes, as the sound of rain seeps into her dreams.

she wakes with a start, a yell caught in her throat, jumping as mismatched eyes scan the room and quickly realize this isn't her apartment. no, no, no, this is her former room in the palais mermonia. panic claws its way up her throat, her mind racing as her feet move independently from the rest of her body.

why? why did she wake up in the palais? why is it so quiet? why isn't there anyone in the halls? her footsteps, slow at first, echo off the walls as she walks through the empty halls. water drips from the ceiling, seeps from the carpets underfoot, and furina's footsteps get faster, more frantic. ]

No, no, no!! It's ─ It can't be! It can't! [ she all but sprints through the palais mermonia, pushing open the large heavy doors and stumbles outside where she suddenly stops. fontaine isn't underwater, it looks as it did right after the waters receded. but where there were people she sees only trinkets; a badge here, a hairpin there, a teddy bear, a camera, and so on. as far as she can see there are only objects of life, of the people who had once been there.

furina walks towards the teddy bear and reaches down, fingers curling around the soggy form, and stands up straight holding the bear to her chest. ] This... this is a joke, right? Just a bad dream brought on by the rain. I'll... I'll wake up any minute now!! Yes, exactly, this is nothing but a bad dream. Wake up, Furina, wake up...

[ as her voice trails off she falls to her knees, shoulders shaking with uncontrollable sobs. ]

─

[ or maybe you've stumbled upon furina after she's found her way out of the labyrinth; which has decided the best place to deposit her is right next to a lake. thankfully she wasn't thrown directly into the lake, but it's close enough to have her scrambling away from it with a panicked yelp ─ utterly unaware of the phone beside her feet. ]

W─what was that?!

► APP, un: regina.

[ it is much later, and with some coaching from wriothesley, that furina even dares to investigate the app. which results in the video feed flicking on with an upside down shot of furina herself, she tilts her head, mismatched eyes widening with sheer delight. ]

─Oh!! Hehe, it is like a Kamera! But it's so much smaller! Wonderful! [ she claps excitedly, looking off screen at another before turning her attention towards the phone once again. she should introduce herself, right? the book did mention that others can see and communicate with her through this, didn't it? well, now that she has gotten it working it would be rude not to introduce herself.

she shifts slightly and clears her throat, putting on her best smile. ]

Hello, people of Kaisou! Stand up and rejoice, for Fontaine's most beloved star, Furina, has graced your lovely city with her presence! [ a laugh and her expression drops slightly, her voice taking on a more somber tone. ] Although I am still uncertain as to how exactly I ended up here, or for what reason I was brought, it is... a welcomed change of scenery.

So, um, one might need to get a proper lay of the land if I am to be here for some time. [ something in the back of her mind feels as though she might just be. ] Thus I implore you, my good fellows, to help me do just that!

[ she'd love some cake right about now. ]

WHERE: Network
WHEN: During the November Event
WHAT: Check-in
WARNINGS: MINT

Hey, this is Elliot Craig. If any students from Kaisou High can see this, can you please check in? I want to make sure you're safe.

Also... has anyone else encountered a man in red planting something in your yard? He planted some mint in my yard and said he was helping, but then he ran off before I could get anymore answers.

Does anyone know anything about that? Is he okay? I know things are really stressful right now, but...well, I'm a little worried.

Please be careful everyone! If you need healing, let me know? I can try to heal if you need it.

Voice; un: darkSlayer

WHO: Vergil Vittore and You
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: BACKDATED to 4/3, before the metaverse stuff starts.
WHAT: Vergil giving a polite ask to bring him things but also stop bothering him
WARNINGS: none, will update if needed.

[ A voice yet unfamiliar to those on the Libra App will cut in at some point in the late evening, the sound of a throat being cleared, making sure his voice would be properly audible when he gets his message out on this... Libra App. Thing. ]

I hope your evening finds you well. For those who do not recognise me, by either the picture that this strange app has seen fit to take of me, or my voice, my name is Vergil Vittore. Mr. Vittore, for those who aren't well aquainted with me, please.

I am the owner and runner of Auguries of Innocence down within Shopping Street. Many of you may recognise the shop, newly opened about two, perhaps three weeks ago as a place to buy and sell magical or non-magical artifacts of interest--usually my interest, at this point, but I digress.

I am aware of the plight that has happened to the city in recent with this App--it is part of the reason I have sought not to use it thus far, and half because I've been too busy for something like social interaction over social media while I established my shop in this city.

But, to the point.

1. Stop coming into my shop and asking to borrow, buy, or rent my rare weaponry or defensive items for your own needs. As the sign says, these items are antiques or for display only, and I'm very exasperated at this point at many beings' attempts to come and try to curry something rare off me with the argument of 'but I need it.' You do not. It is mine.

2. No, I will not be joining anyone in your odd foray into the unknown dangers of whatever it is that plights this city. Yes, it does concern me and yes, I am aware that it affects me too. However, I am a collector, not a fighter. So I'm not willing to risk my very mortal life for some act of heroism just because I have an arsenal of interesting weaponry at my disposal.

And 3. , I suppose, I will take this time to mention that yes, if you have any items of interest, you may indeed bring them to my shop and I will appraise them either for your own interest or, perhaps if I'm interested in buying them. I likewise buy old books and paintings, so I'm in the market for those as well--once again, so long as it interests me.

That is all.

Goodluck with your forays, and stop bothering me. And have a good evening.

UN: Zodiac | With April Showers...

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: April 1st
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[The Spirit Vein in the sky shifts from greens to oranges and browns as the element dominance shift into the Earth element. With it, the howling winds of March die down and leave mild spring weather. As usual, the blaring alert sound that comes with a new Zodiac post. The alert will sound even if you have your phone turned off or on silent, and will take over your phone until you read and comment to the message.]

Zhongli

Zhongli, Ryouta, Shio, Rren, and Ei have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Kakyoin

Kakyoin, Yuri, Anna, Ryoji, and Hu Tao has left the app.

[The post then continues on as normal.]

Hello! Thank you for using the Libra App!

Happy April everyone! We just wanted to show our appreciation for all your concerns with our last update. That was sent in error and we assure you all our employees are happy, healthy and alive. If you've notice us being quiet, it's because everyone at Zodiac is hard at work working on something we can't announce just yet! But be sure to check back April 15th, the day after our quarter CEO board meeting, for the exciting announcement!

By the way, we've recently been made aware of a gas leak in the Undertown area. We're currently working to contain the leak. Until further notice, we ask that you stay out of the Undertown area for your own protection.

Finally, we'd like to remind tenents in the Zodiac apartments that should you choose to move, we'd appreciate you contact us with a change of address form so we know where to deliver any mail! So Varian and Fern, if you could please contact us with your change of address, that'd be great. :)

That's all for today! Now let's end off with our ever-popular icebreaker question!

This post has been sponsored by the Chinese diner Aiya! Now through April, you can take on Rainy Day Mega Beef Bowl Challenge on any rainy day! Push yourself to the limits and grow as a person!

[Users will have the option to choose their own display names and userpics if they haven't already. If nothing is chosen, the app will use their real name and a quick photo taken of them from their camera's phone. Kakyoin, Yuri, Anna, Ryoji, and Hu Tao will be around the city with no memories of the app.

Should anyone attempt to go to Undertown, they will find the place has been emptied out of its usual crowd and instead it'll be full of mysterious people in black suits that will insist that you shouldn't be down there. Should you attempt to ignore their warnings, they will be willing to use force to remove you from the area. Some will even come equipment with enchanted objects that neutralize any superhuman abilities for a full day should you try to muscle your way through. Attmepts to teleport will also be blocked. Black Order members will find the reaction to you will rise to hostilities MUCH quicker. Good job! You made your presences known!

Many of the former occupants of Undertown can be found holed up in the Void Denny's, should you still require their wares.

Like always, there'll be no responses from Zodiac. ]

Text | UN: Inazuma

WHO: Ei Inazuma and YOU!
WHERE: The Network
WHEN: Late March
WHAT: Ei's intro
WARNINGS: N/A

Hello.

It appears that I've recently been assigned here. My name is Ei Inazuma, and I work with the Black Order. My specialty is working with AI technology.

Now tell me, where in the city has good take out? I prefer not to leave my apartment.

Entry tags:

WHO: Zhongli and you
WHERE: The network
WHEN: Second half of March
WHAT: The Black Order's newest member has arrived. The time of judgment has come.
WARNINGS: None yet, but will update as needed.

[video;]

[Unlike certain other boomers on the network, at least Zhongli has had time enough to figure out how to use a phone. He'd prefer to write letters to communicate but that's hardly convenient, and he's on a bit of a time crunch right now.

He's set up in a small room of a local hotel. Not a single hair looks out of place, swept back into a long ponytail as it is; he wears a version of the Black Order uniform that has been given extra panels in the style of a more modern coat and less of a churchy vibe, with a brown scaly print as accents instead of plain white trim. A gold brooch secures his spotless white tie. To top it off, he wears black gloves, which can be seen as he steps back from the camera and folds his arms behind his back.

Something about him seems... odd. Is it the weird ombre hair? The even weirder eyes? Who the fuck knows. They aren't a normal person color, that's for sure—more draconic in nature than anything else.]

Greetings, people of Libra, and other associates. My name is Zhongli. You're likely already familiar with my colleagues who also hail from the Black Order. Much like them, my intent is to aid as much as I am able in addition to carrying out my normal duties. [Whatever the fuck those are. He chews his words like they're peanut butter.]

I can't divulge many details of my mission due to the stipulations imposed in my contract. However, I can say that word of recent events in Kaisou has reached the ears of those in charge, and has not gone unnoticed. As for my colleagues: I will brief you shortly.

As is customary of those staying in the city long-term, I will also be taking a position at the university as a history professor. Take care not to be late if you are on the roster. Those who fail to show up will suffer the consequences.

[He folds his arms.]

Now... if it isn't too much trouble, I have some questions for those who are familiar with the area.

Firstly: where is the best tea sold? Where can I find the most skilled tailor? And finally, what is your favorite restaurant and why?

I think that should suffice for now. I look forward to working with you.
